Sixth Anniversary of the Mahasamadhi of Sri Swami Satchidananda
Honoring Our Spiritual Guide and His Teachings

Swami Ramananda

Saturday, August 23 • 5:45–8 p.m.

Free

Our beloved Sri Gurudev attained mahasamadhi—a God-realized soul’s dropping of the physical body—on August 19, 2002. For many years, he prepared his students for this event, explaining that he would always be present internally to guide us on the spiritual path and externally through the sacred space, teachings, and practices that we continue to share. The New York IYI will commemorate this anniversary with a puja (worship service) and by sharing stories of how Sri Gurudev conveyed and embodied Yoga. The whole community is welcome to join us. May we all experience Sri Gurudev’s continued spiritual presence and see that presence reflected in one another.

Swami Ramananda is the president of the New York IYI and a greatly respected senior teacher who has been practicing Yoga for over 30 years. His devoted study of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali and his programs on integrating Yoga into daily life, stress management, and working with the emotions have been appreciated around the country.
